IPIC Director John Mabry says the timing of this series is ideal, scheduled between Aug. 26 and Sept. 22 in various Iowa locations. With IPPA’s sponsorship, the sessions are free. Normally, the fee is about $25/person for each session.

“We appreciate the sponsorship of IPPA in helping provide and promote these certification programs in late summer,” Mabry says. “This is a good time for anyone who needs certification in either or both programs to get that accomplished at no charge.”

Preregistration is strongly encouraged for all sessions to ensure adequate materials are available. Contact the ISU Extension swine field specialist listed below to preregister at the desired location for PQAPlus and TQA sessions:
